one of my dogs got caught up on a security fence,dont ask how ,its along story,eventually getting him down,with a fork lift truck,we took him to the vets,terrible wounds.
anyway,he had180 staples in his back leg,his foot was totally peeled off,his pads was on the top56 staples in there,antibiotics,injections,x-rays for that visit alone it was nearly£280,the dog is fine now and still working hard,we went on to the vets for about another five times after that,and that was nt cheap either.he was worth it ,to replace him then ,well it could nt be done.thats just one experie
